Built by a practitioner, not a theorist.
I'm Lalit Sen, an Associate Manager in Modern Workplace Engineering based in the Netherlands, working hands-on across SharePoint, Teams, Exchange and Intune for a large enterprise tenant. I hold Administrator roles across SharePoint, Exchange, Teams, Security and Applications — so everything shared here comes from real production tenants, not slideware.
This blog exists to document the lessons learned while running large-scale storage optimisation, lifecycle management and retention policy programmes, driving Copilot adoption and building Copilot agents across the business, and automating governance with PowerShell and Microsoft Graph.
